1967 911S RHD - where is it now?

[kcsgator73]

Hi All - New here, out of my curiosity, I was looking to see what might have happened to a 1967 911S RHD I once owned. It was originally my fathers, then I had it for some time and then sold it in 2003 (I wish I had not!). The VIN was 308273S, engine 961991 and transmission 104946. The story I recall is that a US armed serviceman bought the car new while in the UK, then brought it back to CA. My father then bought in CA sometime around 1972 and we had it in FL until 2003. I then sold it to a fellow in CA. It may have ended up back in FL in the late 2000's from what I heard. Any one seen her???

Hi there, what an interesting story and car. Sadly, I don't know where it is, but would be interested to know more about its history. As far as I can tell, it was not a regular UK-supplied/delivered car - maybe it was a tourist-delivery or part of a special programme for the services? Would you have any more info about its life in the UK at all? Best wishes, Robert

Yes I suspect that the Kardex is needed to work out where it was ordered from and where it was delivered to. It is adjacent in vin number to a well known UK car and a couple of numbers away from an Australian delivered one
Those RHD cars are quite rare and i also would be interested in its history and how it came into your ownership as well as where it is now

Found a bit more info:

My family was the third owner of this car. The second owner was a professional Porsche mechanic in California who bought it from the original owner, an Officer in the Air Force. The original owner bought it new in England while on duty there and brought it back to California. My Dad bought it from the second owner while we were stationed in California from early 1973.

That’s all the history I could find on its origin so far.

How was the car listed when you sold it in 2003?

Where did you find that picture?

Maybe this one?

Very close find! Here was mine at same angle. I notice the rear view mirror, hood grills and wipers are chrome in that photo. Fogs are different and wheels. The Fuchs were aftermarket so no not surprised if changed again. All easy to update though.

Antennae is same - is that an original? It looks like the seats might match. The driver’s side had an aftermarket Recaro with headrest and I believe the passenger side was original with no headrest.

I also post here the engine bay and an interior photo - when the motor was last rebuilt, the mechanic painted the fan and cover, so that is somewhat distinguishing if it still exists that way.

Where/when was that photo taken? Thanks!

How was the car listed when you sold it in 2003?

I had it listed on eBay, but I believe I ended up selling offline to the gentleman (I won’t post the name here) who he lived in Glendale, CA.
